+# Citrix Workspace {#sec-citrix}
+
+The [Citrix Workspace App](https://www.citrix.com/products/workspace-app/) is a remote desktop viewer which provides access to [XenDesktop](https://www.citrix.com/products/xenapp-xendesktop/) installations.
+
+## Basic usage {#sec-citrix-base}
+
+The tarball archive needs to be downloaded manually as the license agreements of the vendor for [Citrix Workspace](https://www.citrix.de/downloads/workspace-app/linux/workspace-app-for-linux-latest.html) needs to be accepted first. Then run `nix-prefetch-url file://$PWD/linuxx64-$version.tar.gz`. With the archive available in the store the package can be built and installed with Nix.
+
+## Citrix Selfservice {#sec-citrix-selfservice}
+
+The [selfservice](https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX200337) is an application managing Citrix desktops and applications. Please note that this feature only works with at least citrix_workspace_20_06_0 and later versions.
+
+In order to set this up, you first have to [download the `.cr` file from the Netscaler Gateway](https://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/102186). After that you can configure the `selfservice` like this:
+
+```ShellSession
+$ storebrowse -C ~/Downloads/receiverconfig.cr
+$ selfservice
+```
+
+## Custom certificates {#sec-citrix-custom-certs}
+
+The `Citrix Workspace App` in `nixpkgs` trusts several certificates [from the Mozilla database](https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html) by default. However several companies using Citrix might require their own corporate certificate. On distros with imperative packaging these certs can be stored easily in [`$ICAROOT`](https://developer-docs.citrix.com/projects/receiver-for-linux-command-reference/en/13.7/), however this directory is a store path in `nixpkgs`. In order to work around this issue the package provides a simple mechanism to add custom certificates without rebuilding the entire package using `symlinkJoin`:
+
+```nix
+with import <nixpkgs> { config.allowUnfree = true; };
+let
+  extraCerts = [
+    ./custom-cert-1.pem
+    ./custom-cert-2.pem # ...
+  ];
+in citrix_workspace.override { inherit extraCerts; }
+```
